Known Issue #1 in My Book
How about M$'s flagship development environment (Visual Studio 2005) being INCOMPATIBLE with Vista.
1) The IDE actually recommends you run as Admin everytime you run the darn thing. Yeah, that's good security design for you.
2) Even more importantly, the C compiler offers the worst downward compatibility in windows history. The thing can't doesn't even recognize attributed class from VS 2003.
3) Every new release, the code output gets slower and slower. I compiled the same template objects using VS6 and VS2005. The latter took an average of 4 times as long to execute as the former. Not to mention the productivity hit you have to take with the increased compile time that one can hardly ignore each time you press build. You call that progress? If this is the result of outsourcing, please stop!

In fact, if you look at the official documentation, you have to go back to 1998 (Visual Studio 6) to find an officially compatible compiler.
